Mass on the sixth Sunday of Easter and Mother's Day

  The Parish Church of Our Lady of Fatima, Gwardamanġa

L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna

Waħda mill-affarijiet sbieħ li jgħallimna l-Evanġelju hi li biex titkellem fuq Alla trid taħseb f’kelma waħda importanti u dik hi l-imħabba; mhux il-biża’, mhux il-kefrija, il-ġudizzju jew il-kundanna, imma l-imħabba.

Il-Mulej ma jitlobx minna la l-biża’, la l-ubbidjenza għamja, ma jitlobx minna s-sottomissjoni ta’ skjav, jitlob minna l-imħabba. U l-imħabba tagħna tkun risposta għall-imħabba li rċevejna: “Jekk tħobbuni ħarsu l-kmandamenti tiegħi” (Ġw 14:15)… Read more »

“Aħna nħobbu għax hu ħabbna l-ewwel” (1Ġw 4:19). Din il-frażi mill-ewwel ittra ta’ San Ġwann appostlu hi programm għal kull Nisrani imma b’mod speċjali għalina s-saċerdoti. Aħna nħobbu.

  The Chapel of Our Lady of Manresa at the Archbishop's Curia, Floriana

L-omelija tal-Arċisqof Charles Jude Scicluna

Dan l-Evanġelju li għadna kemm smajna u li huwa mill-aħħar kapitlu tal-Evanġelju ta’ San Mark, aħna l-Maltin inqisuh bħala Evanġelju għażiż. Naqrawh fil-festa tan-Nawfraġju tal-Appostlu Missierna San Pawl. Naqrawh ukoll proprju fil-festa ta’ San Ġorġ Preca, li biex nikkwotaw lil San Ġwanni Pawlu II, huwa meqjus bħala t-tieni Missier tagħna fil-fidi. 

Imma għaliex intgħażel dan l-Evanġelju għal din il-festa? … Read more »
